As the year winds down, many independent dental practices are thinking about how to make the most of their remaining budgets — and for good reason.
Between exclusive vendor rebates, special end-of-year pricing, and Section 179 tax deductions, now is the time to invest in the equipment your practice needs for growth.
At Unified Smiles, we help independent dentists access corporate-level discounts and cash-back rebates on everything from sensors to CBCTs and scanners to handpieces — all while helping you stretch your dollars further through smart, tax-efficient purchasing.
Dental manufacturers and distributors often roll out their best incentives of the year in November and December. These limited-time promotions can include:
Cash rebates on equipment purchases
Bundle discounts (buy-one-get-one or “stack & save” deals)
Free accessories or extended warranties
Deferred financing or 0% interest offers
Unified Smiles members can access exclusive rebate tiers and partner pricing through our trusted vendors — meaning the deals you see advertised are often just the beginning.
Your Member Specialist helps you compare quotes, navigate rebate paperwork, and ensure you never leave savings on the table. Our specialists have real world dental experience as dental assistants, dental hygienists, dental equipment technicians and dental office managers.
Beyond rebates, year-end equipment purchases can bring a major tax advantage under Section 179 of the IRS Tax Code.
This provision allows dental practices to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment — up to a certain limit — in the year it’s placed into service.
That means your new intraoral scanner, CBCT machine or other dental equipment could reduce your taxable income this year, not years down the road through depreciation.
✅ Pro Tip: Always consult your accountant to determine your specific eligibility and deduction limits.
As a Unified Smiles member, you gain access to special equipment pricing, rebates, and dedicated support to simplify every purchase.
We partner with top dental brands — including Darby Dental, DEXIS, Straumann Group, Carestream, ClearCorrect, and more — to deliver savings and service that go beyond what you could negotiate on your own.
Your Member Specialist can help you:
Compare vendor quotes side-by-side
Identify special manufacturer rebates
Offer member only deals
From digital scanners to operatory equipment, the next few weeks can mean thousands in savings — and potential tax write-offs that disappear after December 31.
Whether you’re upgrading technology or expanding treatment offerings, there’s never been a better time to act.
